Question Weird stuttering in RDR2 ?

[Johnny9999]

I'm back to playing the game after like a year, however every now and then I will encounter an issue where the game will run smooth until it stutters once, which is then followed by microstuttering (the fps drops from 60 to 59) almost like clockwork, like once every second. What is strange is that going to the settings and changing something e.g. texture quality seems to temporarily fix it, even if I switch it right back to its previous value. I don't understand it.

I'm not running anything in the background other than Windows stuff, all my drivers are up-to-date and my PC itself is more than capable of running the game at the settings that I run it at. I tried disabling fullscreen optimizations, switching to DX12, using high performance mode for the CPU/prefer maximum performance in NVCP, disabling HAGS etc.. nothing seems to work. I was running these same settings 2 years ago when I had a PC which was weaker in every single way. I also tried older BIOS versions/GPU drivers to no avail.
